My startup page for my browsers is a LOCAL plain HTML page (one of my aule-pages) and yet IE and FF take a great deal of time before they can render that HTML.
But what if I want to read the notes that I have left in the page as text ?
If I want to go out on the internet, then tell me to wait. But to sit looking at a blank screen ?!?

IE Updates
Oddly, the Windows Update option for Microsoft XP as found in the IE8 Tools menu (Internet Explorer 8) does NOT go to an HTTPS site but instead to http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate even though just going to https://www.update.microsoft.com/ provides the XP user of IE an HTTPS site for updates!
Why does MS even keep that HTTP target on-line?
What would such a minor update to IE8 have cost the accidental collosus?
